1. Postdoctoral/Researcher position in Molecular and Systems Neurosciences through the NORPOD program

Boccara group is recruiting a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate for a 3-year NORPOD Postdoctoral Fellowship to study how sleep deficiencies may impact neural development and transcriptomics in rodent models. NORPOD is a collaborative postdoctoral program of the Nordic EMBL Partnership in Molecular Medicine. The NORPOD Fellow will be hired at the University of Oslo and join a collaboration at the Nordic EMBL Partnership institutes: Charlotte Boccara's group at NCMBM (University of Oslo, Norway) and Thomas Kim's group at DANDRITE (Aarhus University, Denmark).

The candidate must have a strong background in neurosciences and wet-lab experience in (i) systems neuroscience (with a focus on electrophysiology and sleep) and (ii) in spatial transcriptomics and high-resolution imaging.

Application deadline: 15 Aug, 2025.
